01Why Aldea Zama
Why Aldea Zama earns its premium.
Aldea Zama is Tulum's premium gated core — walkable, dense with high-end condo inventory, and with the most reliable utilities in the market. It's the neighborhood where building rules and HOA enforcement matter most, and where guests and tenants alike pay more for the polish. Owners here are absentee more often than not, which is exactly why operating discipline shows up in revenue — and shows up in resale.
The most reliable utilities in Tulum
Power, water, and internet sit a notch above the rest of Tulum. AC runs more consistently, fewer cancellations from outages, fewer review hits from infrastructure failures.
Strict HOA enforcement on STR
Building rules matter more here than anywhere else in Tulum. Some buildings cap short-term rentals, others require registration. Reading your reglamento before the lease or listing goes live is the whole job.
Premium ADR + premium lease rent
Top short-term ADR in Tulum on Airbnb / VRBO / Booking. Long-term lease rent runs above Tulum Pueblo and La Veleta. The pricing power is real but it has to be earned with operating quality.
02Who We Manage For
Four kinds of owners. One operating standard.
Whatever you're renting (or not), we run the same accountable operation underneath. Pick the plan that fits — the local team is the same.
Long-term landlords
Owners renting on 6+ month leases — tenant screening, lease drafting, rent collection, and renewals. Stable cash flow with minimal turnover.
Short-term & Airbnb hosts
Owners running nightly stays on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking, or Expedia — listing optimization, photos, dynamic pricing, and guest care across every platform.
Absentee owners (caretaking)
Not renting at all — bill pay, scheduled inspections, vendor coordination, and monthly photo reports so an empty unit doesn't become a quiet maintenance problem.
Multi-property investors
Portfolios across one or more neighborhoods — one accountable local team, one operating standard, one consolidated owner statement.
Around the Neighborhood
What's around Aldea Zama.
Pedestrian-first streets inside the gates, the Mayan ruins fifteen minutes south, cenotes in every direction, and the Beach Road shuttle a short ride east. The walkability and proximity are what make the neighborhood photograph and rent the way it does.
Tulum ruins & Mayan archeology
Fifteen minutes south of Aldea Zama. Sunrise-entry tours are a top guest concierge ask; tenant-renters use the trail for morning runs.
Cenotes within 20–40 minutes
Gran Cenote and Dos Ojos are the most-asked-about; the lesser-known ones (Calavera, Crystal) are the ones guests remember. We send the current condition list weekly.
Dining + cafés walkable inside the gates
Coffee, breakfast cafés, and dinner spots within Aldea Zama mean tenants and guests rarely need a car for daily life. The walkability is the moat.
Beach Road shuttle access
Aldea Zama itself isn't on the beach. The Tulum Beach Road shuttle and a quick taxi cover the distance — the short drive is the trade-off that makes the rent and ADR work.
Aldea Zama sits inland of the Beach Road. Highway 307 access is to the west; ruins and the Beach Road shuttle are a few minutes east.

Hi, I'm Chris — founder of PlayaStays.
I've owned and operated rental property across multiple markets — long-term leases, short-term guests, hybrid use. I've run all three models personally and learned what actually protects an asset versus what just looks good on a contract. PlayaStays is built on the operating standards I'd want for my own property in Quintana Roo. If you own here, I'd like to talk.

Sometimes. Many Aldea Zama buildings have building-specific STR registration, guest-quota rules, or outright caps. We read your reglamento before the lease or listing goes live — if short-term isn't allowed, we'll be direct, and our Property Management (long-term) service usually fits the unit instead.
Common in Aldea Zama. We start on the model that fits your unit and your debt service; if you want to switch when the lease ends or seasonality shifts, we transition the channel mix without losing the operational baseline. Property Care stays continuous either way.
Yes — many Aldea Zama owners use Property Care without renting. We pay your CFE electricity, water, internet, and HOA dues, run scheduled walk-throughs with photos, manage cleaners and AC/handyman vendors, and send a monthly condition report so an empty condo never becomes a quiet maintenance problem.
Yes. The 5% Quintana Roo hospedaje tax (RETUR-Q) is filed monthly for short-term bookings. Airbnb’s direct remittance is reconciled; Booking / VRBO / Expedia are filed directly.
